I am one of the lucky people to have not seen this show. I say lucky because I get to experience it for the first time. I have watched the first few eps so far and its amazing!!!

Yes, it's one of my all time favourites (I'm totally in love with Busy Phillips because of it too!).

I never saw it when it aired, but when I did I fell in love with the show, and I hate that I'll never get to see any more of it. Not quite like I feel on a Firefly level, which I saw in a similar way, years later, never saw it air, but similar.

I recall watching the first episode and thinking "oh gee, just what I want to do...relive high school" and turned it off.


I don't see myself ever trying to watch it again.

Freak and Geeks was so good. The kids (kids at the time) were amazing in it. Almost everyone has had future work. I love seeing them in other things. Judd Apatow keeps them close, but when they work in non-judd productions, it makes me happy that other folks saw how talented these actors were.

I picked up the box set a few monthes back and loved it, I beleived I never saw it when it first came out, then again I probably would have been too young to appreciate it. You should check out "undeclared" if you liked freaks and geeks.

i remember watching it when it first aired and liked it, but never really caught on and kept watching. my wife had never heard of it..so we got the dvd and had a nice marathon going through the whole thing a few months back. what a great show...? too bad it didnt stay around longer.

Freaks and Geeks is my favorite show ever. I remember watching the premeire and being blown away by how funny and moving it was. It aired during my freshman year of high school, and it just felt so good to see things portrayed in a realistic way on television. Finally having characters I could relate to on TV.

I also highly recommend Apatow's follow-up show, Undeclared, about people in college. It's not as good as Freaks, but it's still really great stuff. And a lot of people from Freaks and Geeks make appearances in it.

I started downloading the show at the beginning of this past summer and absolutely fell in love with it. I can't even stress how upset I was when I found out I missed out on the exclusive DVD, but anytime I watch an Apatow production I'm glad to see the some of the cast reunite.

She's ok but it's all about tough, hot blondes for me. :P


Though she's pretty hot as a brunette, too.

Dunno what it is with the tough blonde chicks. I have a huge Starbuck crush as well. :)
